A girlfriend of mine who used to work at Hobby Lobby with me did have, over the past decade, have a number of health problems crop up, the worst of which was kidney failure (she's had transplants) and has been in and out of the hospital a number of times for her various health problems, and is now living in a nursing home. Her only vice is cigarette smoking, and she did try to give that up but she ended up feeling depressed afterward-no real surprise when she's done that since she was seven years old.

As might be guessed, she's genuinely unable to work. However, she herself knows that yes, there is a lot of welfare fraud out there, and she has seen it.
